“Hey,” said Dean that night when you got to the restaurant. He was in a gorgeous suit and you smiled, Dean looking like he was ready to jump out of his skin. “I got the best news ever this afternoon.”

“Oh yeah?” you asked, Dean humming as you went over to the bar to wait for your table.

“Oh, yeah. Also, you look beautiful,” he said, tilting his head at you. “Very beautiful.”

“Thank you, handsome,” you said, tucking your hair behind your ear. “So what’s this good news?”

“My doctor called and said they found a matching donor. She’s gonna do it. I got a chance,” he said.

“That’s great!” you said, Dean smirking at you.

“He told me who it was,” he said, biting his bottom lip. “A certain Y/N Y/L/N. He said you just signed up yesterday.”

“Well, I figured I’d sign up to be on the list. I never thought I’d get called. I certainly never thought we’d end up matching,” you said.

“No. The odds...I should play the lottery,” he said.

“How about we take an okay feeling Dean first?” you asked.

“Yeah, I can get behind that,” he said, a waiter coming over to show you to your table. 

Five minutes later you had a celebratory bottle of whiskey on the table, Dean’s face still in one of the largest smiles you’d ever seen.

“I don’t even care about having to deal with chemo for three solid weeks every day. Oh, I got my chance. I finally got my chance,” he said, pouring himself a refill.

“That part is gonna suck, huh,” you said.

“Big time. They’ll go hard. Basically they’re gonna wipe me out so when they take healthy cells from you and give them to me, those cells become my new ones. I’ll be on medication but who gives a fuck. I went from zero percent odds to like sixty something. I will take it,” he said.

“Wait. It’s not a hundred percent?” you asked, Dean munching on a roll and shaking his head. “Why?”

“Basically, my first like, month with your new cells, I’m gonna be in a special room to lessen the odds of me getting sick. I’ll basically have no immune system so if I catch a cold, I’m dead,” he said.

“That’s not fair,” you said.

“Y/N...I mean, I’m excited, don’t get me wrong. I haven’t been this excited since last night when I got to kiss you,” he said. You smiled and he laughed. “But there’s still a lot that can go wrong. All it is is a chance. I’ll take that over nothing any day.”

“It still sucks,” you said quietly.

“Wanna make a bet?” he asked.

“Shoot.”

“Two years from tonight, I bet I’m gonna make your night,” he said.

“You’re gonna make my night?” you teased. He nodded and smirked. “What does that even mean?”

“You gonna take the bet or what?” he asked.

“Two years…” you trailed off, closing your eyes.

“Sounds like you’re disagreeing which is awesome cause loser has to make the other cookies,” he said.

“Sure,” you said, rolling your eyes. 

“So I gotta ask. Why don’t you think I won’t be able to do it? You thinking I won’t be around or you’ll have wised up by then?” he smiled.

“I think you’re the biggest flirt of a man I’ve ever met,” you said, looking across the restaurant.

“It doesn’t answer the question,” he said.

“I’ve never been in a relationship that long,” you said with a shrug.

“Me either,” he said.

“I’ve never been in one more than a few weeks and not in years,” you said, pursing your lips. “Sorry. Not a first date topic. Maybe that’s why I’m hopeless.”

“Funny. Since I met you, there’s a lot more hope in my life,” said Dean. You glanced down at your lap and he tapped his foot against yours gently. “Most people when they find out about me, that’s when they leave. For some reason, you’re not running away yet. You actually choose to stay and that makes me feel better. I don’t know why but you do and I don’t care how many boyfriends, how many dates, how many times you’ve had sex, if you even have...I don’t care about that stuff. I like you. A lot. Somehow you’re my once in a lifetime shot at beating this thing too and...I don’t think that’s a coincidence.”

“What are you saying?” you asked.

“I don’t know. Just don’t get down over your previous lack of a love life. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be...unless it’s you of course cause so far, this is awesome.”

“Casanova, you are,” you said, taking a sip of whiskey.

“You know it,” he said with a wink. “You and me? Dream team right here. Going all the way.”

“So why did you really take me to an extremely nice restaurant for our first date?” you asked.

“I wanted to,” he said softly, the teasing in his voice disappearing. “I’m not gonna be feeling good for awhile or be able to go out for months and months. I thought it’d be nice if we had a really nice date. Is it really too much?”

“Yes...and no,” you said, smiling at him, holding up your glass. “We’re celebrating after all.”

“Yeah, we are,” he said toasting your glass. “You’re out of a bad job, I have a chance again and you get to look at my adorable face all night.”

“Must you always ruin the moment?” you laughed.

“Defense mechanism. You’ll get used to it,” he said, taking another bite of his roll. “Food too. I love food.”

“What’s your favorite-“

“Pie,” he said. “Any kind of pie. We’re so getting some for dessert.”

“You like pie that much huh?”

“Almost as much as I like you,” he said.

“You ever gonna cool it with the flirting, Casanova?” you asked, leaning over and stealing the last roll from the basket.

“With you? I wouldn’t count on it.”

“Alright, what’s the damage,” you said, reaching for the bill when it came but Dean swiped it away first. “I get the whole being a gentleman thing, I do. But you are not paying for the whole dinner.”

“How exactly are you going to pay a bill that doesn’t exist?” he said. You furrowed your brow and he took out the receipt.

“Uh, we have to pay that,” you said. He rolled his eyes and showed it to you. You were a little surprised at how big it was but seeing the discount line made you tilt your head. “Zero dollars?”

“Yup. It’s my present. Some rich woman set up a fund awhile ago at the hospital for adult transplant patients. We each get one fun thing to do each year and the fund covers it. I picked our dinner if that’s okay. Not to sound cheap just...I can’t really afford a place like this on a normal day,” he said.

“You picked our first date for your once a year thing?” you asked. “Dean, you should have used it on you.”

“I did. Last year I went to a football game with my brother. I like using it to do things with people,” he smiled. “Want to go walk off our dinner?”

“Sure,” you said.

A few minutes later you were walking down the sidewalk, a light chill to the air. Dean shrugged out of his jacket and laid it on your shoulders, the two of you walking quietly for a few minutes. He bumped his hand against yours before he brushed the back of it, doing it two more times before he pulled it back.

“Shy, Dean?” you asked. His gaze was obviously on you but you didn’t look up. “You can hold my hand if you want, you know.”

“I’m not shy,” he said, taking hold of your hand, your fingers intertwining. You smiled and looked down at them, seeing Dean looking ahead.

“You’re shy when you like someone, huh,” you said. “Not the cocky flirty front.”

“Like I said, defense mechanism,” he said quietly.

“I like shy boys too,” you said. “Cocky boys that turn out to be shy are my favorite.”

“You don’t feel sorry for me?” he asked.

“Sorry for what?” you asked.

“Me. My situation. I only ask because it can happen,” he said. “Been down that road before.”

“Well, I can tell you that I’d be happier if you were healthy but no, I don’t feel sorry for you,” you said as you stopped at a corner, turning in your heels to face him. “Got it?”

“Yes, mam,” he said, smirking at you, tugging you along to walk more with him. “Warm enough?”

“Mhm,” you hummed.

“Good. So what’s-” he said, his phone going off. “Sorry about that.”

“It’s okay. You can answer,” you said. Dean smiled and pulled it out, putting it to his ear. 

“Hey, Sammy. I’m on a date so...yes I am...what do you want nerd...hey, calm down it’s not...Sam. It’s not a cure...of course I’m excited...I can manage...I said I can manage...don’t you dare call mom. Fine, you can come up some...yeah...starts Monday...alright, I’ll see you. Love ya...shut up bitch,” he said as he hung up, shaking his head. “Sorry. My little brother was returning my call was all.”

“Is he your only sibling?” you asked.

“Just us,” he said. “What about you, sweetheart?”

“Mmm,” you hummed, yawning as you leaned against Dean hours later. He had his arm over your shoulders and pulled you into his side.

“It’s late. I should get you home,” he said.

“Eh, we had fun,” you said, taking a deep breath. “You smell pretty.”

“Thank you,” he chuckled. “I’ll drive you home.”

“I thought they said you couldn’t drive?” you asked.

“Nah, I’m fine. Just right after something like that the doctors get leery,” he said as you wandered back down the sidewalk towards his car. “Rossy gave me the all clear.”

“Rossy?” you asked.

“Yeah. Dr. Ross. He hates it so naturally I call him Rossy. He calls me a smartass. I like him,” said Dean.

“Can I ask a personal question?”

“Shoot.”

“How do you deal with finding out something like that?” you asked.

“Well I’m twenty nine now. I found out when I was twenty three so I’ve had more than a few years to deal with it. I had no symptoms. It popped up in a blood test after I went in for some stitches for a cut I got at work. I was told it needed to be watched in case it started to develop into something worse which around two years ago it did. I was told about three years without a transplant and it’s starting to look that way,” he said. “I mean, what was your reaction when I told you?”

“I was surprised.”

“Yeah, that was pretty much my gut reaction too,” he chuckled. “I thought I was too young but apparently not. Then I denied it was actually happening, then I was angry and then I was upset and got more upset and more upset and then Rossy took me down to the kiddie wing of the hospital. Kind of puts it into perspective when you see that. I still had time and he told me to use it so that’s what I’m trying to do.”

“I don’t know if I could handle it,” you said, stilling when he paused at a black muscle car. “I forgot to mention your car is pretty awesome.”

“Well Baby likes you too,” he said. “Let’s get you home, sweetheart.”

“You live here?” asked Dean when he pulled up outside a house. “Like...here? No offense sweetheart but this ain’t exactly the safest part of town.”

“It’s cheap. It doesn’t bother me,” you said, giving him a smile he saw right through. 

“The apartments in my complex gotta be better than…” he trailed off when you swallowed. “What aren’t you telling me, Y/N?”

“It’s nothing,” you said, putting a hand on the door. His other one grabbed your hand though and you slumped back into the seat. 

“What’s wrong?” he asked softly.

“Can you keep a secret?” you asked.

“Anything,” he said.

“I...don’t have a house,” you said.

“Okay…” said Dean. “Then why are we here?”

“It’s abandoned. I squat here,” you said, closing your eyes. 

“Squat? Like...do you not have a home?” he asked.

“I was fired six months ago. I lost my house. I don’t…” you said, Dean staring at you. “It’s complicated. I know I lied. Sorry.”

“You’ve been staying in that house?” he asked.

“Yes,” you breathed out. “Or my car when I can’t find a place.”

“Where’s your car now?” he asked.

“Parked out back,” you said.

“Why don’t you get your car and follow me back to my place,” he said.

“Dean. I’m not going to spend the night,” you said.

“You are not sleeping in that house,” he said. “Either that or you let me pay for a hotel room.”

“Fine. Only one night.”

“Good morning,” said Dean when you woke up on his couch the next day. You remembered what had happened the night before and immediately pulled the blanket you’d been using over your face. “Oh, yes. Clearly you have disappeared and we won’t be having this conversation.”

“Can we forget that happened?” you asked, blanket being peeled back, Dean sitting on the edge of couch. He smiled and looked you over, running his hand over your head. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Can I ask you a serious question?”

“Alright,” you said.

“Monday when you were upset and pulled over. It didn’t even cross my mind until now...we were on a bridge,” he said. “Over the highway.”

“I was upset not...” you said, sitting upright and moving past him, ready to change out of his sweatshirt and into your dress and get the hell out of there.

“I didn’t say you were. I wanted to ask why you were upset that day is all,” he said. You sighed and stopped at the end of the couch, feeling Dean stand behind you. “You can tell me about your crap too. That’s part of a relationship.”

“I’m sorry but maybe this was a mistake,” you said. You finished heading into the bathroom, changing quickly. Dean was nowhere in sight when you left and you got out of there before he could try and stop you.

Monday Afternoon

“Hey,” you said, knocking on the door of Dean’s hospital room. You saw him walk out of the bathroom wearily, carrying a bin with him.

“What do you want,” he mumbled, crawling back into bed. He wrapped his blankets around himself and shivered, closing his eyes.

“Are you okay?” you asked.

“Just puking my guts out for funsies,” he said, wincing a little for a moment before he relaxed. “Chemo hits me hard is all and I asked what you wanted. I don’t need to see you, like at all.”

“Can I shut the door?” you asked.

“I don’t care. Just leave the way to the bathroom clear,” he said. You sighed as you closed the door to the room, Dean peeling open his eyes when you took a seat by the bed. “I’m not in the mood to talk.”

“Are you willing to listen?” you asked quietly. 

“Are you some kind of pathological liar?” he said, giving you a bitch face.

“I’m sorry if I hurt you,” you said. “You’re very kind and I’m...I’m not worth the trouble.”

“I’ll decide that for myself,” he said. He sat up some, shivering a little.

“I’ve been out of work since I was fired,” you said closing your eyes. “I can’t get a loan or an apartment because...my old boss keeps stopping anything I try from happening. Jobs. Places to live. I pissed him off when I said no and what happened after that...I could move to a different city but I don’t really have anywhere to go. It hits me sometimes that this is my life now and that’s what happened last Monday. I was...I was having a bad day.”

“I talk to you about the fact I’m dying yet you were too embarrassed to tell me that?” he asked.

“I know,” you said, looking down to your lap. 

“Hey,” he said. “Look at me.”

You forced your head up, Dean closing his eyes briefly before he slowly opened them.

“My baby brother, Sam, he works for one of the best law firms in town. We can talk to him and he’s gonna help you out with this dick of an ex-boss. I’d go kick his ass but I’m not really capable at the moment.”

“Dean.”

“I understand being embarrassed, sweetheart. You have no idea. People treat you different when you tell them certain things. But you don’t have to do that with me,” he said.

“I don’t know how to trust people anymore, Dean. I’ve been on my own for so long and then that happened. I’m-”

“Human. A very pretty human,” he said gently. “People don’t want to be my friend anymore, sweetheart. They don’t talk to me. You’re the only person that’s not a doctor or my brother I’ve talked to in a week. I am the fucked up, vulnerable one in this relationship. You have bad luck. I’m-”

“Don’t call yourself fucked up,” you said, scoffing at him. “You’re kind. How is that fucked up?”

“There’s other stuff,” he said. “Stuff I’m not ready to talk about. Someday but not today.”

“Alright,” you said, grabbing his hand and resting your head on his arm.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“I’m sorry for lying to you,” you said.

“Can we agree from now on to stop being embarrassed in front of each other?” he asked.

“Yeah,” you said. “Yeah, I can agree to that.”

“Awesome, cause I need to throw up again,” he said, quickly getting out of bed and jogging to the bathroom. You walked over and he was knelt down, shaking slightly as he caught his breath. 

“Can I get you anything?” you asked, bending over and rubbing his back, Dean sighing.

“That feels nice,” he said. “Can you go ask a nurse where the fuck my anti-nausea medicine is?”

“Okay. I’ll go get someone,” you said. You kissed his temple, Dean smiling when he looked up at you. “Is it okay that I did that?”

“Sweetheart. I have cancer, not the black plague. You can still kiss me,” he chuckled. “Until otherwise noted, okay? I’ll let you know.”

“Alright. I’ll uh, I’ll go find a nurse.”

“Sup, Dean,” said a very tall man that walked into Dean’s room a few hours later.

“Hey, Sammy,” said Dean, lowering the volume on the TV. “Sam, this is Y/N.”

“Didn’t you two break up?” asked Sam. “After your first date?”

“Nah. You must be confused,” said Dean, smiling at you. “I don’t know how she did it but somehow the nurses fear her. She got me my medicine like that.”

“You’re the marrow donor too from what Dean said,” said Sam as he took a seat in the other empty chair.

“Yeah. It’s very strange how it worked out,” you said.

“I ain’t complaining,” said Dean, getting out of bed again.

“Stomach still upset?” you asked.

“No. Nature calls,” he said, slipping inside the bathroom. Sam gave you a long look and you frowned.

“What?” you asked.

“Listen. I know who you are but I don’t care. You’re helping my brother and that’s all that matters,” he said. You blinked slowly a few times, narrowing your eyes when you took in what he said. 

“I don’t know who you think I am but I’m not it,” you said.

“You’re not the Y/N Y/L/N who worked at Borris & Longworth?” he asked.

“I used to work there but-”

“But yeah. I know who you are,” said Sam, rolling his eyes. “Why don’t you stay away from my brother. Just donate the marrow and get lost.”

“Samuel,” barked through the room, Dean’s brow furrowed as Sam spun around in his seat. “If I had the energy, I’d punch you in the face, got it?”

“Don’t date this chick is all I’m saying. She’s bad news,” said Sam.

“Oh. I see you’re a believer of bullshit too,” said Dean, sitting back on the bed, shooting Sam a dirty look. “Why don’t you act like a real lawyer and get your facts straight before you threaten someone I care about, threaten someone that may end up saving my life because she wanted to donate. Don’t turn into an asshole like those pricks you work with, Sam. Just don’t. If that’s what you are now, then just leave. I’d rather remember you the way you were.”

“You’re not dying,” said Sam.

“Yeah, Sam, I am. I started chemo and radiation will start soon and in three weeks, I have the procedure done. I have a sixty two percent shot of surviving the transplant. Sixty two is a hell of a lot better than zero. It’s not a guarantee. It’s a chance. Time is the only proof of being better I’ll have. That is all I will ever get. There is no cure or guarantee. I am dying. If you’re gonna be rude to the one person who has willingly come into my life during this, then you can go,” said Dean.

Sam was quiet, staring at his lap while Dean crossed his arms and went back to watching TV.

“Sam,” you said. “Can I talk to you outside for a minute?”

You stood and exited the room, Sam following after a moment. You wandered down the hall to the waiting area, taking a seat and resting your head in your hands.

“I know what Liam says about me,” you said. He took a seat beside you, still before he leaned forward and put his elbows on his knees.

“It’s not true, is it,” he said.

“He was the one that did those things to me,” you said, Sam wide eyed for a moment.

“Y/N. Why did you never go to the police if that’s true?”

“Because his Uncle is the commissioner. His Aunt worked at the bank my home loan was through. His family ruined my reputation in town so I can’t get a job better than a fast food place and even then, I get fired pretty randomly from those for bullshit reasons I know is him paying off people. He’s made my life a living hell. Everyone buys into it. Everyone but your brother,” you said. You took a deep breath and sighed.

“You’re saying he’s the one that sexually harassed you and...in that board room…” he said.

“Dean doesn’t know about the board room and I’d rather he not,” you said.

“Can I ask why?”

“Because it was humiliating and degrading and Dean has enough shit going on than my fucked up life. I don’t want him to worry or think about it all. He should focus on himself right now,” you said.

“You obviously are still getting to know my brother.”

“Yeah,” you said. “I honestly don’t care if you believe me or not. Do not upset your brother. Stress isn’t good for him.”

“I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you anyway,” said Sam.

“You were biting my head off not five minutes ago,” you said.

“...well if you’re the kind of person that wants to be with my brother given his situation, I seriously doubt you’re the kind of person who hurts someone else and then lies about it. Liam has always given me the creeps on the rare occasion I’ve met him. I’ll take your word over his,” he said.

“Thank you,” you said.

“Y/N. Thank you. For helping Dean. If I can help you with Liam, I will,” he said.

“I can’t afford a lawyer. I can’t afford anything,” you said as you stood up.

“You’re giving my brother a chance which is more than I can say I’m doing. Let me see what I can dig up,” he said.

“If you could just help it so I can get a decent job, that’s all I want,” you said.

“My fiance owns her own business. She’s looking for a second set of hands. It’s not much right now, it’s still a startup, but I can guarantee Liam can’t get you fired from that job,” he said.

“I’ll take it,” you said. “I’ll need time off in a few weeks for the transplant but-”

“Don’t worry about that. Jess wants Dean to get better too,” he said. You nodded and started to head back towards the room, Sam grunting. “Y/N. We need to sit down sometime and have a serious conversation about what exactly Liam did, what he’s still doing.”

“I know. Right now I just want to check on Dean though,” you said.

“Alright. Let me know when you’re ready to talk and we’ll do it.”

“Well look at you,” you said, smirking when you walked into Dean’s hospital room on Friday afternoon. “I like the new look.”

“A patch came out yesterday in the shower, I decided to just shave it off,” said Dean, running his hand over his head.

“Well I was hoping you wouldn’t need this yet but I brought you a present,” you said. You dug into your purse and pulled out a beanie, Dean chuckling at it.

“Thanks, sweetheart,” he said, tugging it down over his head. “No presents though. You’re on limited funds still.”

“Well the one benefit of working for such a small business is that I got paid this week,” you said.

“Really? That’s great. So you like working on Jess’ t shirt shop?” he asked.

“Actually, yeah. I’m helping clean up the business side so she can focus on her designs. She seems really happy with me so far so there’s that,” you said.

“You better still be crashing in my apartment,” he said.

“I am. I’ll get my own place real soon,” you said.

“Stay. I’m going to be in this hospital for at least a few months,” said Dean. “Another week or so and then they’ll stick me in a different room when my immune system gets pretty weak. Then a week after that, they should end up zapping me and putting your marrow in me and then I go to a different special room to hang out by myself for a long time while my immune system tries to rebuild itself. Apparently it’s got a window and telecom so I can still tell you how hot you are.”

“We have to work on your priorities,” you said, Dean scooting over on his bed. 

“Well come on, I have limited cuddle opportunities,” he said. You rolled your eyes and sat up next to him, Dean throwing his arm over your shoulders, your head resting on his chest. “That’s better.”

“How’d it go today?” you asked.

“I’m sick of it,” he said. “But I have to do it in order to kill my own immune system. It’s gonna get worse. I’m not looking forward to it.”

“What time do you have it tomorrow?” you asked.

“First thing. Why?”

“Can I come?”

“They come to my room and do it. It’s not anything special,” he said.

“Still. You spend a lot of time alone here. If you don’t mind that is,” you said.

“No, I don’t mind,” he said quietly. “I’d like it if I had some company.”

“I’ll be here,” you said. He kissed the top of your head and you smiled. “You’re so handsome.”

“No, I’m not,” he said, his cheeks flushing briefly. “Especially not anymore.”

“You have no idea how wrong you are,” you said, tilting your head and kissing his lips. He sucked in a breath, a soft smile on his face. “Very, very handsome.”

“Y/N,” he said, warm air pooling over your face.

“Yes, Dean?” you said, brushing your nose over his.

“I got this problem, you see. I think I’m starting to fall for you. But the thing is, I promised myself that if I started to do that, I’d tell you,” he said.

“Oh,” you said. 

“Yeah. Honestly, it’s too fast. Like way too fast and odds are-”

“Shut up and kiss me,” you said. Dean titled his head and you smiled, brushing your lips over his. “Do I look like I care about whatever the fuck society says is an acceptable waiting period to tell someone you like them?”

“No,” he breathed out. “Then again, we’ve never been traditional.”

He kissed you gently, putting a hand on your cheek. Just as you were starting to melt into it he broke away and sat up, coughing hard. You went up with him and rubbed his back, Dean sounding like he was hacking something up before he got his breath back.

“I can’t even kiss you without feeling like shit,” he said.

“Let’s just cuddle,” you said, pulling him back down when you thought he was ready.

“Yeah. Yeah a cuddle sounds pretty good right now.”

Two Weeks Later

“Hey,” said Sam, poking his head in your hospital room with a smile. “How’d it go?”

“Okay. I’m a little achy but they said that was expected after them taking marrow. I can go home later today but I figured Dean’s getting his first treatment this afternoon and I wanted to say hi first,” you said.

“Yeah, he sent me down to check on you, told me to wait on you hand and foot if needed,” he said with a chuckle.

“I’m good. If you could help me out of bed so I can go see Dean that’d be great,” you said. He stepped over and put an arm around you, helping you stand for a moment.

“How bad does it hurt?” asked Sam.

“Not really. Dean’s the one I’m concerned about,” you said, Sam carrying most of your weight as you started to head out.

“You know that whole Liam thing…” said Sam. “I looked into it this week.”

“And?”

“And I brought it to my old law school professor. I don’t trust anyone else at my firm. He says you have a major case. Like, Liam himself is fucked but so is a lot of his family that covered stuff up for him or paid people off. He says there are really good odds that you can be paid damages for everything you’ve gone through and the missed work and the house and all of it. He’ll work it pro bono he said if this is the road you want to go down,” said Sam.

“I can’t keep living my life with him destroying so much of it. Things are looking up for me and I can’t worry about him anymore,” you said.

“Alright. I’ll keep working it then,” said Sam. He was quiet as you made your way upstairs to the special room Dean had been staying in the past few days. He was weak and they needed to minimize his chance of catching anything. “Hey, jailbird. I brought you a visitor.”

“Hey, sweetheart,” said Dean, better looking than you were expecting. “You okay?”

“Yeah. Hip’s a little sore but I’ll survive,” you said with a smile, Sam setting you down in the seat by the window. “You nervous?”

“Nah. I’m ready for it,” he said with a smile. “If this is the last conscious conversation we have, I got to say, I really regret never getting to have a proper makeout session with you.”

“Always the flirt,” you said, Dean chuckling quietly. “Dean.”

“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I got a pretty good reason to keep living. I got to make you fall in love with me afterall,” he teased.

“I’m gonna be right here in this chair with Sam and Jess when you wake up, okay?” you said.

“You three are gonna sit in the same chair?” he giggled. 

“You’ll be fine, Winchester,” you said, Dean smiling softly. “You want anything for when you wake up?”

“Can you make sure I get an extra blanket in here?” he asked.

“Sure thing, babe,” you said, spotting Dr. Ross come down the hall. “Alright, Dean. Here goes nothing.”

One Week Later

“What does that mean,” said Sam, the both of you scowling in the waiting area just outside the room Dean was recovering in. “He was fine yesterday.”

“His white cell count was rising but it started to taper off last night and this morning’s test showed he’s down again,” he said.

“It means Dean’s body isn’t building it’s own marrow back up from mine,” you said. “Right?”

“In layman’s terms, he’s not adapting as well to the new marrow as we hoped for. He needs that to build up his immune system which without one...it’s a death sentence,” he said.

“Take more,” you said.

“Take more what?” asked Dr. Ross.

“Of my marrow,” you said. He closed his eyes and you stood up. “I’m fine. Take more and give it to him.”

“Marrow is a cell like anything else in your body. You need a certain amount. Think of it like blood donation. You can only donate so much blood before it’s problematic for the donor. I’m sorry but your body needs more time to regenerate what was taken,” he said.

“Take. One. More,” you said, Dr. Ross raising his chin. “My body can handle it. I’ll stay in the hospital a few days or however long to recover but just take it. All three of us know I’m the only one that can do it and odds are if he doesn’t get more, he dies. So just take one more damn sample. Please.”

“One more sample,” said Dr. Ross. “If we’re doing this, we need to do this now, understand?”

“Don’t worry about work,” said Sam. “Jess is cool with it. It’s fine. Whatever we gotta do to help Dean, we’ll do it.”

“You will need to rest in bed. No walking around, no visiting Dean after this. I will strap you down if I have to. Have I made myself clear?” said Dr. Ross.

“Yes. Anything to help Dean out, even a little.”

“Hi,” said Jess when you woke up that evening. She was munching on some pasta and offered you some before you shook your head. “Sam’s with Dean so I figured I’d keep an eye on you.”

“I feel like shit,” you said, reaching for some water before she handed it to you.

“Dean’s numbers bounced back to where they’re supposed to be at this point,” she said.

“Good,” you breathed out, closing your eyes again.

“So while the boys are away, I got a slight business proposal for ya,” she said.

“Jess, I’m too tired to think about work,” you said. “I wrote instructions in the spreadsheet.”

“No, not work work. You’re really smart, way smarter than I’ll ever be at the business stuff. I was wondering if instead of me being in charge you’d want to be partners,” she said. 

“Partners?” you asked, opening your eyes.

“Yeah. 50/50. You do more work than I do nowadays. It’s not the most money in the world but I think together we could really do something big, like expand and do even local stuff, not just online,” she said.

“What’s the catch?” you asked. “I don’t have any money to put in right now.”

“I know. We don’t need more money right now. I could really use your help though. You know how to sell stuff and plan and budget. I could really use you,” she said.

“Alright,” you said with a nod and a smile. “Deal.”

“Awesome. Now try some of this fettuccini, it’s amazing.”

“Hey, Dr. Ross,” you said, wearily opening your eyes late that night after Jess and Sam had gone home. “How’s Dean?”

“Stable. Not out of the woods yet,” he said, looking over your chart.

“He would have died without the extra transplant, wouldn’t he,” you said.

“The odds weren’t in his favor. We took a larger sampling than before which is why you may be feeling a bit run down. You can’t give again no matter what happens with Dean, not for a few months at least,” he said. “Is that clear?”

“Yes,” you said. “What do you think Dean’s chances are?”

“You’re not a family member so technically I shouldn’t even be talking to you about this,” he said.

“Rossy,” you said, the doctor smirking for a moment.

“I’d say he has a fifty percent chance of keeping his numbers building. If he makes it through that and to the fourth week, I think it goes up a little. The next year will be the most telling. He could have a completely normal life after this. He needs to survive the next few days first though,” he said.

“So there’s a fifty percent chance of that?” you asked. Dr. Ross pursed his lips and glanced down. “Worse?”

“The need for the second injection...it doesn’t bode well,” he said. 

“Give me a number.”

“I’d say he’s got a 50% chance of deteriorating again. If that happens...it’s unlikely he can recover from it,” he said. You nodded, Dr. Ross setting your chart back down but he paused by the end of the bed. 

“His numbers are starting to go down again, aren’t they.”

“They stopped building from earlier in the evening. It’s not a good sign. Odds are...would you like to go see him?” he asked. You nodded and he helped you into a wheelchair, pushing you to the elevators before you took off on Dean’s floor, stopping outside the window, Dean barely awake.

“Hey. There’s my gorgeous girl,” he said, closing his eyes. “I’m kinda tired sweetheart if that’s okay.”

“It’s okay. You can go to sleep, Dean. I’ll be right here,” you said. He gave a small nod and you saw his heartbeat slow on the monitor, Dr. Ross telling you he was fast asleep. “Thanks for letting me talk to him again. How fast...if his numbers drop...how fast will it...”

“Probably sometime tomorrow,” he said. “Could be a little longer. We don’t know anything yet but it’s not looking good. Tonight will be very telling.”

“Can I stay here for a while?” you asked, your bottom lip quivering.

“Yes. Just let a nurse know when you want to go back,” he said before he turned to go. “Y/N. You gave him a chance...and some happiness. That’s more than he ever wanted.”

“He deserves better,” you said.

“Most people do,” he said as he walked away. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. Going back to your room would be the easy thing to do.

You released the air in your lungs and tried to get comfortable before you decided to sit through what was going to be the longest night of your life.

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Volume 6 Intermission 1 - Another Worthy Opponent

T/N: Hey there Kakuriyo fan-fams, how are you doing so far? Anyway, here's the first intermission of the volume, as an o-make/bonus for everyone, before this month ends. Thank you for noticing this blog, I appreciate it very much. I wouldn’t know if this has notes though, my tumblr app is basically non-functional anymore so I just get surprised when I login. Anyways, I hope you have fun reading.

As always, I mostly didn’t translate some of the names of the ayakashi/youkai, as well as the proper nouns because uhm... They’re basically nouns. It’s like how some translated manga are done. It’s my style, I guess. Links to references at the end of the post.

Also if you like this translation, you can heart it, share the link, reblog, I just respectfully ask that DO NOT REPOST ELSEWHERE. This is my contribution to the scant English content of this fandom, and I worked really hard to finish this thing, it’s not like I just copy-pasted everything. I even had to build the kanji in Jisho one by one. Try it and you’ll see what I mean.

You can rave about this, rant about this, but if possible please link back to this page. If you’re unsure how to do that, just copy the web address of this page. If you’re on a blogsite just insert the web address as a hyperlink as a link back to here. Honestly if this light novel was officially-published in English, I wouldn’t even be doing this right now... And if it did, I’d take this offline to support the publishers and Yuuma-sensei. Creators support creators, is what I believe in.

As previously-mentioned in earlier chapters, if you stumbled upon this one, the two seasons of the anime covered volumes 1-5, so other than the extra details, you didn’t miss much stuff.  OK, this intermission is a fun and light chapter. Not much food though. I want some pizza lol

P104 I, Ginji, the Young Master of Tenjin-ya whom it was entrusted to, with regards to the Autumn Festival activites at the end of October, have finally accepted the fact that I couldn't think of anything else to include in the programme and this time I don't know what to do anymore. Odanna-sama suddenly called for me, and I immediately went while I was in the middle of work. "Really, Ranmaru is coming to Tenjin-ya?" "Yes. It's because Aoi succeeded in the matters at Orio-ya, he's coming here to pay back with rewards. He just accepted Byakuya's unreasonable payment demand as it was. If Aoi hears about it, she'll surely be horrified. Regarding that payment." "Hee hee. Even now, Aoi hasn't realized the magnitude of her doing the ceremony in Orio-ya, hasn't she?" According to Odanna-sama, the fruits of Aoi-san's rewards, after covering the losses and deficits due to Tenjin-ya's prolonged break, there's still probably enough to deduct for Aoi-san's bonus commision. Naturally, it seems that the remainders will be alloted to repay the debts. "Wah, is that true?" After reading out the detailed particulars, it caused even me to unconsciously react. P105 Byakuya-san, how on earth were you able to negotiate such sums? No, it's not that but, as even I was involved in the ceremony at Orio-ya many times and I understood why, Aoi-san going there for us, the achievements of what remained to be done were enormous. Surely, Ranmaru seemed to be aware that the reward was reasonable. "By the way, Odanna-sama. Yesterday, how was your date with Aoi-san? Although called as such, it probably wasn't one." "It's not like that. Aoi was worshipped by the mountain's Kaku-zaru, we conspired with the extermination of bandits... The plans to make the fruits all around us to make a heartwarming date progressed into a disaster, but thankfully we were able to gain some information. Moreover, Aoi made cooking seem fun. We acquired ingredients from the mountain that we rarely have, it was delightful. Aoi's obsession for cooking is probably her greatest cure." "Ah, ahaha. That's Aoi for you. Anyhow, in any case, I'm relieved that you were safe." Odanna-sama just said, "Yes, I guess," and smiled so happily. Sighing, his smile just looked so youthful. I just suddenly thought it was. "Alright Ginji, your brother is arriving very soon. It's a rare opportunity to meet up with him, you’re gonna be with him." "Really, is that fine?" "You're too formal with Byakuya and I. When you're not around, it becomes deathly quiet."

P106

"Is... Is that so? I mean, yes, it is." Although Tenjin-ya and Orio-ya combined their strengths to get through difficulty, there's still a sense of tension. It's for this reason that there's still a business competition, anything that happens as a result of the rivalry, surely when imagining as such, it can lead to painful stories. No, but my worries are probably unnecessary. "Wahhhh! It's been a long time, Tenjin-ya! It's summer since we last came? Today we brought a lot of souvenir gifts-- Now where is Ojou-chan**? I want to have something to eat--" "Hattori, you're being too boisterous! Shut up--" "What the heck Ranmaru-- I just brought you here--" It seems that Hatori went along with Orio-ya's Ranmaru. Surely, due to their extreme inability to read the atmosphere, I wonder if they can fulfill their roles this time. Perhaps... Ranmaru has become like Odanna-sama, and probably doesn't like it when it gets quiet? "We appreciate you coming from so far a distance, respected Head of Orio-ya.** We welcome you." "Whaat. You're damn heartless to talk, Tenjin-ya's Master. But we want to immediately return the favor. For disturbing you lowlifes**, we apologize. Hey, Hatori." "Hey, hey" T/N: Hopefully, by this time it's easy to pinpoint out who's calling Aoi. If there's no honorrifics, it's Odanna-sama, or O-ryo. With -kun, it's Byakuya. With -san, it's Ginji, and everyone else lol Hatori calls her Miss=Ojou-chan yeah you probably get it now lol Yeah Ranmaru is technically not the master of Orio-ya's he's more or less the chief officer for operations, but he's still under Ougondouji-sama, the original founder of Tenjin-ya. Odanna-sama is more or less the chief executive officer or everything because Ougondouji-sama left Tenjin-ya in his care. Something like that. This part was explained in the anime too, before the start of the Orio-ya arc.

Also I didn’t choose to translate temee -  てめえ  for what it really is, I find it too harsh so I just went along with the more milder ones lolol Ranmaru is a potty mouth guys P107 Hatori-san pulled out his bag. It is totally wrapped in mystery, and our chief accountant Byakuya-san solemnly accepted it, and his sharp-sightedness was surely awakened by the contents. "Yes, it is good..." After that, the chief accountant and Odanna-sama, who do not exempt a lot of things other than this, stamped the magnificent receipt with Tenjin-ya's very important golden seal. "After this, we need to make a written report to Aoi-kun.  We also have to include her bonus commision with it." Byakuya-san's sour mood seemed to have lifted somehow. The large payment was deserved, and opening his fan, he leisurely looked up. "This is Aoi-san's first commision, isn't it? She'll be ecstatic--" Once she learns that the bonus has been given, she'll be very surprised. I could imagine her shocked face, and I could only laugh about it silently in my head. "Young-master, can you hand this over? That girl can finally embezzle a lot of ingredients--" "You can't say that.." Odanna-sama couldn't help but say it with a sarcastic laugh, and bizaarely showed it to Ranmaru and Hatori-san. The two looked at each other with a side-glance. P108 “Also, Tenjin-ya's Odanna-sama. Ougondouji-sama, did she came to Tenjin-ya sometime ago?" Ranmaru decided to cut off the conversation, and changed its direction. Odanna-sama immediately shook his head. "No... I wanted something returned to the girl, and I was thinking of getting in touch. I couldn't get the whereabouts of that person, that's why it wasn't easy." "Wanted something returned?" While sipping some of Tenjin-ya's tea, Hatori went "What could that be?" "The Tengu's Uchiwa Fan.** At present, that is Aoi's property, and Ougondouji-sama should bring it here." "Ah, that, yes, yes." It seemed that up until now, Hatori-san seemed to have forgotten about it, and asked Ranmaru about it with his gaze. His eyes read "Hey, what should I do?". Ranmaru kept quiet for a bit, and opened his mouth. "Ougondouji-sama, she said that she was going to the North-western Lands." "The North-western Lands?" Odanna-sama and Byakuya-san's facial expressions changed. The North-western Lands. It is also called the Land of Bun-mon, Scholarly Gates. In that knowledge gate metropolis, there are multitudes of academicians and doctors. Really, they send out so many civil officials, there are just so many politicians in charge of that place, even inside the Hachiyo's centers and nearby areas, that land is said to have strong political powers. T/N: OK, so this explains why Aoi didn't just use the uchiwa-fan to get rid of the bandits. The leafy fan wasn't returned yet. OK, so if you're wondering too, there you go. P109 "Likewise, that place hates anything-that-is-easy-to-understand." Byakuya-san nonchalantly said that in distaste. "Ahh. In Youto's imperial court, the political authority has swayed, it's under the territory of the Minister of the Right, Ieyasu. Anyhow, Ougondouji-sama traveling to the Northern Lands must be related to her calling out for something, but it doesn't seem likely that the Tanuki would easily get moved. She probably doesn't know how to handle that." Odanna-sama placed his hand on his jaw, and let out a long exhale. "It's connected to the Northern Lands. Two days ago, even I heard the stories of the people living the mountains of the Northern Lands. For a long time there, the Great Old Sage has been a go-between in ruling that region, but that person has been bedridden with an illness and no one has been elected to be the successor. It's because of that it seems, that the insurgent forces have increased." "That grandpa, he hasn't died yet?" Hatori's lack of reading the mood appropriately went out with just a few words, and Ranmaru stared at him sternly. Hatori just pretended to be ignorant by whistling.** "I daresay Ougondouji-sama went to the North-western Lands for the sake of resolving the chaotic situation in the north. There's also the issue of opening up a vacancy in the Hachiyo ranks. There's a chance for the aristocrats in the imperial court to increase their power and influence. Currently, owing to the Hachiyos' command, each of the eight districts's sovereignty were held together by each Hachiyo, but there have been calls to abolish the Hachiyo system, and the supremacy of the Central Government will become absolute, as more people will have to make the decisions." After Ranmaru finished talking, he huffed a bitter smile after thinking, and brushed up his hair. T/N: Hatori is such an adorable dumbass, srsly, I wanna be annoyed at him but he's a sweetheart inside, apart from flirting with anybody, I mean ANYBODY lololol Also Ranmaru is such a softie with Nobunaga, I just can't - gahaha you can't stop me you all P110 "Tenjin-ya's Odanna-sama, have you ever imagined that we will be talking together like this?" "Certainly. Surprisingly, your edges have been trimmed off and you're now softer**, Ranmaru." "Tch... Leave me alone!" "Gyahahahaha--" Hatori-san started laughing. After that even Odanna-sama did too, and the intense atmosphere was flipped over, and as everyone around started making playful faces, Byakuya-san cleared his throat and silently glared at Odanna-sama. Don't destroy your dignified attitude, was what I could read from his wordless plea. Even Odanna-sama considerably had a cold sweat vibe. "I give up, can we get over with the tiring conversation? If so, let's talk about more delightful things. Here's a joyous report from Orio-ya. As a matter of fact, our Young Master and Young Mistress have been engaged, somehow." "Really, aren't they Hideyoshi-san and Nene-san**?" Up until now my calmness levels have been fine, but because Hatori-san abruptly revealed an auspicious news from my old stomping grounds, I unconsciously reacted spite of myself. Hideyoshi-san is a goblin monkey Ayakashi, and his position in Orio-ya is Young Master. Nene-san is a fire rat Ayakashi, and is Orio-ya's Young Mistress. T/N: This literally was written like "your horns/corners have been taken out and you're now rounded" but again, probably a pun because maru=round and well, Ranmaru has MARU in it. Oh well. And yeah I ship fire rat girl and monkey boy lol canon shipping ftw P111 During the time we worked together in summer, I didn't feel that kind of atmosphere around them... I saw that Nene-san especially admired Ranmaru, but this awakening of one's love is probably an exceptional case. "But, isn't this development happening too fast?" I was stunned, in reality the time period that elapsed since the engagement happened was at most, two months. "That dumbass Hideyoshi is different, he's a late bloomer." "Whaa... But in your dreams you wouldn't say something like that to the dog you're raising, won't you Ranmaru?" While Ranmaru was smirking, the profound meaning in my words propped him up, and he thoughtlessly replied. "Nonetheless, I heard it from Nene-chan, who was the aggressive one!" "Really?!" What on earth is up with that two...? "That definitely happened, when the two went back to their hometown, during the break after the ceremony." "Oh well, since the beginning those two have been comrades in their old hometown, and having surpassed the ritual, likely they were drawn towards each other. But it was a good thing for Orio-ya.  If the connections between the managing staff gets stronger due to having more trust, then it's going to be more rock-solid." P112 Both Ranmaru and Hatori-san were receptive to the engagement of the two trustworthy management staff. Especially Ranmaru, his face may not show it but his speech and his demeanor shows that he's happy. Even I realized that. "Gahaha-- Well, I told Hideyoshi to mess about some more. But he seems earnest of only one way. Because he was raised in the countryside, he only knows that when you decide to get together with someone, then you get married. Even Nene-chan too, one way or another says that if it's Hideyoshi, then it's good. If it fits, then it must be suitable." "Not playing around is definitely the opposite of what you are, Hatori." "Geez, I think you're absolutely stabbing me. Leave me out of this, Odanna" Hatori-san just destroyed himself. But Odanna-sama was smiling, then he just dared to speak calmly. "Ah, I get that. From now on, it's wonderful that as employees they will be giving their best to gain happiness. But in Tenjin-ya's management staff, ever since Kikuno’s marriage, nobody has ever been married. Also, there's nobody who wants to...**" "..." Kikuno-san was Tenjin-ya's former Young Mistress, and was also doubtful about O-ryo being the current Young Mistress. It's a fact that ever since her marriage, there has been no other celebratory news from Tenjin-ya. Even hints, there's mostly nothing... Anyway, nobody was saying anything, and it got awfully quiet. "Speaking of someone, aren't you dumbasses instantly forgetting about that Shirou's granddaughter's marriage?" T/N: This is just funny AF, salty boi is salty lol but seriously if this ogre-boi just stopped messing around with Aoi maybe he's gonna be the next one to get hitched lololol well IDK what do you think y’all P113 ".. what?" Although Ranmaru pierced through and broke that silence, Odanna-sama's laughing face got frozen stiff. "If that was easy, shouldn't I be working this hard? But since I couldn't do just that, I am in trouble right now." Everyone in here went "ohhh..." and greatly understood what he meant. Guys, right now Aoi-san's thinking about that. It seems that the girl's personality and Odanna-sama's huge efforts can be easily understood in 10 minutes. "Ahahaha-- Odanna, you dumbass can't handle a young girl by yourself, that's an amusing story. It's hilarious--" "Well, that IS about Shirou's granddaughter. That Ojou-chan, no matter how often she falls, she just stands up again. Kakuriyo hasn't been more enlivened by that before." Ranmaru and Hatori-san kept hitting their knees as they laughed. Afterwards, for some time there was chatting about public news, as well as exchanging information about Kakuriyo's affairs, and apart from Orio-ya's payment contract, all sorts of souvenirs and presents were given out. Those were Orio-ya's pride, the famous products from the Southern Lands. Of course there was seafood, Kiseki beef that has a little fat and is famous with the ladies, mangoes that only grow in Kakuriyo's south, and other snacks like that. Lately there has been additional efforts in growing what is called an "avocado" and other fruits from Utsushiyo. P114 I think that with regards to Aoi-san, she'll be happy with these, but Odanna-sama and Byakuya-san seemed to be annoyed by it. "Lately, the topic of interest about Orio-ya is that your souvenirs and products have increased, and we're jealous." "Then Tenjin-ya has to quickly produce and release new products and souvenirs. People asking about old and ancient products are dwindling, you know. With regards to that aspect, Orio-ya has strength. Although we're still continuously on the road to improvement, it's because we're changing to become your worthy competitor." Byakuya-san whispered to me "Even if so..." "Young Master-dono, I have heard your plea that you haven't thought of what to prepare with regards to the Autumn Festival, have you formed any plans right now?" "About that, I think that what we usually have annually aren't interesting and fun. This year, we'll use agricultural produce of the Land of Ogre's gate, such as rice, sweet potato, and pumpkins**." "P... Pumpkins?" Odanna-sama's face became unusually disgusted. "About that.. Odanna-sama doesn't like the texture of pumpkins." "It's sweet, but can't you think of anything other than side dishes?" While we were seating together in the banquet, Odanna-sama, Byakuya-san and I were thinking about it a lot. T/N: Goodness Ginji, no wonder your catering business got whacked. I adore you but really... just hire Aoi in the creative department lol Also if she gets to make Odanna-sama eat pumpkin I really can't say so much about her now lol P115 There weren't any other things that he didn't like, and though Odanna-sama appears to be a flawless ogre, when there's boiled pumpkin I have seen that he casually places it on Byakuya-san's plate. "...Pumpkin, is it..?" "Ginji, why is your expression that of an evil fox's?" "It's not that, Odanna-sama. I just thought of something after a bit." "Ohhh, that's wonderful!" "Whooo.. Those are the words of our genius planning department manager, Young Master-dono. That is certainly going to be a fun plan!" What on earth, Odanna-sama and Byakuya-san were they hounding me for such a plan right after that. "That, uhm..." After the banquet we huddled in a circle and sneakily talked about the scheme. The three people in the management staff planned together in hushed voices, and silently laughed. Chiaki-san, the doorman in charge of footwears, after looking at the night scenery, went by and we must have made him say "Well, that's scary".

Other stuff I used to do this: Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Dictionary (you can buy here, I’m not sponsored btw). I was about to buy the older edition but then the newer one came out 2013 so I bought that instead. Worth buying since I was able to find nearly all of the words I needed just by stroke pattern alone.

Merriam-Webster's Japanese-English Dictionary (the red-covered 1996 version is apparently out of print right now). This is what I have been using for a very long time, I bought it when I was still a fetus (yes I am old so what lol), and after so many years, when compared to newer editions, I still prefer this one since its entirety is Japanese-English, the English to Japanese gloss are just 16 pages tops, so you get more Japanese words for your buck. But that’s just my opinion, maybe other people prefer the Jap-En x En-Jap IDEK.

Basic online dictionary, Jisho. Knowledge of verb conjugations  and other words are necessary since not all have entries.

If you can read Japanese, you can buy the whole set in Amazon Japan, they’re shipping worldwide now, I think.

Pink Lizard Thunderbolt Incident

Ahsoka was twenty, bored, and taking a bet from Hardcase when it happened.

Her first mistake was being in the same bar as Hardcase. Quickly followed in order by entertaining the bet, her own youthful naivete, and her desire to push limits. Well, actually, her first mistake had been bragging to him about her ability to knock back starshine’s because human alcohol was “weak ass shit”. Hardcase commiserate and had promised to find her something better, after all, clones had a higher tolerance for alcohol as well. When they’d sat at the bar Hardcase had pointed at her and said, “This one can drink irongut, blood mashes, and thinks starshine is weak. What do you have to knock her flat on her ass?”

Ahsoka had laughed, punching him good naturedly until he’d smiled evilly at her and said, “S’amatter? You scared?”

She’d told him to pay for the drink and she’d drink anything.

When it arrived, the first thing she’d noticed was the small cloud hovering above it, little electrical bolts flying between the hovering vapor and the liquid.

“Holy shit,” she whispered, “is that a pica?”

The bartender, an older purple woman with stubby tentacles swept elegantly behind her head, had grinned and winked. “Nope. That is a pink lizard thunderbolt babe. Almost twice the alcohol content. It can literally eat through a human’s stomach, but you togs are built like gastric tanks. If you can drink this shit and remember anything afterwards, I’ll pay for the damn thing myself.”

Ahsoka stared at it in wonder, a stray bolt shocking her finger as she grinned. She probably sounded more excited than she should have as she asked, “Should we have an ambulance on speed dial or anything?”

The woman shrugged, “How should I know? I’m not your mom!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve just sent Kix a message and he is your mom.” Hardcase made a motion towards it. “You gonna chicken out or what?”

The last thing Ahsoka remembers is grabbing the drink. It’s surprisingly disappointing to say she doesn’t remember what it looked like as the cloud dissipated, she had no clue how it even tasted which just seemed like a fucking shame. Then next thing she remembers is waking up violently ill in an alleyway, and bitching on about buzz droids. Later she’ll be delighted to discover that she is still alive and hadn’t had a single thing stolen from her. Much later she’ll be grateful that Hardcase didn’t record a damned thing. Much, much later she’ll have bragging rights beyond bragging rights and a pin up of herself in a thundercloud painted on a LAAT/i.

But that is later.

Hardcase, for his suspiciously reliable sounding testimony, explains that Ahsoka drank it over a twenty minute period and that after thirty minutes she only seemed regular drunk. The bartender was impressed enough to give them some complimentary nuts. About five minutes after that Ahsoka had started rambling about starships, then blasters, then bitching about how cold Ilum was and how she wished her lightsabers were a “cool” color. She had apparently never explained what that was supposed to mean.

Ahsoka had devolved quickly into tattoo designs for herself, and asked several times in a row if Rex would want one too. Despite Hardcase repeatedly saying she would need to ask the Captain. Then got a little teary eyed that Rex didn’t love her, which the bartender took the wrong way but got a kick out of Ahsoka’s hiccuping, “But he’s my best- brother- frien’- dad and I need him!”

Hardcase had assured her that Rex loved her, and that every trooper in the 501st knew she was their collective best-sister-brother-friend-Commander.

She had sniffled and asked if they’d get tattoos with her which Hardcase assured her they would.

They had both been given orders to drink two glasses of water before leaving. Apparently the bartender wanted to keep visuals on Ahsoka for another hour before they left for liability reasons and also because this was the most fun she’d had all week. Which was fair. After the first glass was chugged Ahsoka almost threw up, managed not to, and had loudly declared that was why togrutas were the best.

Hardcase had gotten up at some point to keep Kix appraised of the situation (“I told him you were fine and you were, ‘s not my fault!), it took less than a minute and he had eyes on her for all except the last fifteen seconds.

No one is really sure where she was for the next hour or so.

Ahsoka finds a receipt in her pocket for a kebab, the used end of a death stick with heavy lipstick stains in a shade she doesn’t own, and a crumpled ticket to a concert that had happened a week before. All in all it’s not useful for much except she glad she didn’t root through the trash more thoroughly. Who knows what would have been in her pockets then. She guesses that she stumbled out the back door to wander a bit, but was probably too uncoordinated to get far. Regardless, drunk Ahsoka had still turned around and homed in on Hardcase at the bar.

The first place Hardcase checked was the dancefloor, then the bathroom, then the back alley. He explained in detail how his short life flashed before his eyes and the way he’d debated if he should call in backup to find her. He’d figured she couldn’t get far and did a sweep, he never saw her. Right when he decided to, and stepped into the back alley he found her sitting half hidden by the dumpster and nearly burst into tears. Hardcase then promised to get a tattoo with her and get her food and do anything as long as she didn’t leave his side again for the night.

Ahsoka had apparently said, “Nice.” while patting his cheeks.

Mama Bartender had come out a long while later with waters for them and asked if Ahsoka was still breathing. Ahsoka had tilted her head and shrugged, which was acceptable. A while after that Hardcase had helped her up and they had tried to go back to the barracks. She had been distracted by every pet they came across and asked to touch them. Hardcase had smiled widely as he explained he was not responsible for whatever photos those civvies had taken of a drunk Jedi playing with their pets.

“That’s on the holonet and I can’t stop it.”

Fair enough, although Ahsoka did feel he shouldn’t act so smug about it.

There had apparently been a memorable stop at a bathroom as Hardcase had gone in the single stall with her to make sure she actually peed in the damned toilet and not on her leggings. Apparently someone had thought they were engaged in more sexual games and had been horrified thinking a trooper took advantage of a drunk woman. Ahsoka had laughed herself nearly sick, again allegedly on civvie camera, explaining that Hardcase was her best friend and she loved him but not like that but if he was a girl she would totally have done it. Hardcase stuttered his way again through the explanation that she was drunk and needed to pee. Ahsoka had been offended at the accusation that she was drunk, right up until she tilted and almost brained herself on the sink while bitching about the gravity repulsors acting up again. Then she’d paused before petting the mirror image of her own face and saying, “Ok ’m drunk.”

The karking Coroc’s had been called in the meantime though, and Hardcase had been laughing too much to explain what happened when the two shock troopers arrived. He must have said something though because they were not, in fact, arrested for any of the things the probably should have been arrested for.

The fact that Ahsoka had received two pings with unknown com numbers to have a drinking contest with the Guard was a good indicator that she’d impressed them for all the wrong reasons. Boot and Chide had both assured her they’d welcome her presence as a judge if nothing else because she was funny.

Hardcase just snickered, “F-funny!” in a high pitched wheeze when she asked about it.

Ahsoka had tried to sleep on a bench and Hardcase had at least redirected her back towards the barracks. They made it halfway there before Ahsoka walked unassisted into another alley, leaned over, and threw up. Feeling better she’d again insisted on sleeping, and Hardcase got her to compromise and just sit next to him. There was no way she was being allowed to sleep yet. He kept an eye on her breathing and made sure she wasn’t getting cold.

“I know my ABC’s Commander!” Hardcase said with pride.

She opted to not make the obvious joke considering he’d shepherded her drunken ass around for at least six. Which was generous considering he was the one who had gotten her plastered in the first place.

That’s where she remembers waking up feeling like shit and grateful that she had the day off.

Kix had nearly blown a fuse when they’d returned as he’d assumed Hardcase was being an idiot and had been joking about the punch packed in her drink. Ahsoka had hissed through his rant, hands covering montrals best she could and accepting the pain killers and the electrolyte mix. She got a few hours sleep in the medical bay under his watchful eye before her woke her to eat a nutrient cube and discharge her with a lifelong case of Being a Karking Dumbass. Kix was adamant that it was chronic and would only become more acute with time. Ahsoka had rolled her eyes but didn’t try to argue because...well, she had drunk the damned thing hadn’t she?

She caught another hour of sleep before Anakin had arrived, stomping and shouting and forcing her up to train in the salle with him. As it was his right as her Master to determine how Ahsoka would spend the day off from the GAR. It wasn’t productive considering she spent the whole time cursing at him and he spent the whole time laughing.

“Best core workout I’ve ever had,” Anakin would say fondly, much later down the line when telling the story to embarrass her.

Obi-Wan had arrived afterwards with an evil smile to drill her on her studies, which Ahsoka managed to only avoid by saying, “You drink one Pink Lizard and everyone becomes an asshole!”

Anakin had panicked for a hot minute while Obi-Wan had immediately sat her down. She’d been quickly forced to explain that Kix had seen her and discharged her already, no she wasn’t dying, and no they only ate through the stomach lining of humans according to the bartender.

Anakin had eventually smiled widely, far too manic for anyone’s tastes, looking between her and Obi-Wan, “We’re high tolerance drinkers! That’s our lineage tick!”

“No,” Obi-Wan tried his best to discourage the notion. “I know what you’re thinking and we should definitely not-”

“Yes!” Anakin insisted, only getting more excited, “We need to get drinks together! Now!”

“No,” Obi-Wan and Ahsoka had both insisted, but for wildly different reasons.

“But yes!” Anakin chripped far to happy and loud for anyone to enjoy as he dragged them off towards their quarters. “So what are we having, I know how to get the good stuff in here.”

“Either get me herbal tea or get me another Pink Lizard so I can die in kriffing peace!” Ahsoka snarled and tried to get her arm out from the mechno grip he’d locked her into.

Obi-Wan said, “I second the motion! Let me go Anakin!”

“Cool, I’m thinking jet juice to start then some skee’s and we’ll see how we’re feeling.” Anakin said the same way some people might imply that eating a small desert after a meal might be one step too far.

Ahsoka and Obi-Wan looked at one another in horror, mute from fear.

“How are you still alive?” She whispered staring up at her Master with new respect.

To be fair, she doesn’t actually remember anything after that either, so maybe the respect had been given a bit to quickly. Suffice it to say they, luckily, survived the night. Although perhaps “luckily” is not the right word for the day that followed.

Regardless, Ahsoka looked up at her nose art with a smile and decided that she would never, ever touch a damned pica drink again in her life. She would have also sworn off drinking with Anakin, but that was a foregone conclusion.

Now if she could just get Yoda to come to one of their “our lineage makes poor decisions” nights, she’d swear off drinking forever.

À Triomphe - BTS AU

AU:  Art Thief!Bangtan

Description: You are a curator at one of the many museums in Paris, and have finally earned the bosses trust.  But after a strange meeting with a new coworker and his friends, you begin receiving messages from an unknown party.

Part: Seven / Six / Five / Four / Three / Two / One

Warnings: Swearing, Suggestive Situations.

The house had become quiet, something you had longed for.  You began to wonder what would become of you.  

How long can I last here?

What’s going to happen to me?

Does anyone know I’m gone?

Your mind cluttered with worrying thoughts, sending you back and forth as question after question drowned you. Your back was pressed against the wall beside Jin’s door.  You’d assumed he had fallen asleep as he hadn’t bothered to come out.  It’d been hours.  Your head rolled as you grew drowsy, a jolt of energy springing through you just as your eyes would fall shut.  

A door slammed, the noise ricocheting throughout the house.  Footsteps gained on your position, accompanied with a pair of long legs; it was Jeongguk.  He stopped in front of you, multiple bags in hand as he cocked his head to the side.  “What the fuck are you doing?”  He laughed to himself. “Did Jin toss out his toy?”

Silence consumed the space between you two.  You were too tired to retort and simply nodded.

Jeongguk stood, mouth agape as he waited to say something.  His eyebrows knitted together as his eyes wondered.  “Come with me,” he muttered, quickly walking past you and down the continued hall to his room.  He held the door open, staring down at you impatiently.  “Do I need to drag you?”  His eyebrows raised as a wry smirk turned the corners of his lips.  You stood, an inaudible groan vibrating from your chest as you staggered.  You were exhausted, and Jeongguk knew it.  He simply wanted to irritate you.

His eyes followed you as you approached, rubbing your swollen eyes.  They were red, puffy, and your eyelashes were wet.  Jeongguk’s face expressed disdain for your pitiful features.  He loathed people who showed weakness.

“I’m not going to let you throw a pity party once we get in here,” Jeongguk scolded.  He looked you up and down.  Seeing you in a pair of ill-fitting sweatpants and an oversized shirt of Taehyung’s made him uncomfortable.  “Come on, brat,”  he groaned.

You followed him into his room, stopping just before the door frame as you waited for him to talk.  Jeongguk turned his head as he began to unpack his shopping bag, laughing.  “You know you can make yourself comfortable in here.  I’m not a dictator.” You felt the need to comply, as you had learned what would come if you didn’t take orders from him.  Your hand still hurt. You paced forward, standing timidly beside him as you rubbed your arm.  He gently placed items onto his desk.

A small box, a single outfit, and a shock collar.  A feeling of constriction formed in your throat, hoping that he wasn’t that much of a sadist.  Jeongguk pulled a small chair out from under the desk, sitting in it as he pulled the box from his desk.  His nimble fingers pulled the cover from off of it.  He looked up at you; he actually looked innocent for a change.

“This is yours,” he instructed.  You opened the box, finding a brand new phone, suddenly remembering the unfortunate fate of your last one.  “Try not to drop this one.”  He muttered, rummaging through the bag to pull out a small receipt and tuck it into a drawer on his desk.

You watched as he went down the line.  He pulled the pile of clothes off of his desk, placing them on his lap.  “I don’t like seeing you in Taehyung’s clothes,” Jeongguk hummed, “and I’m sure he’d like them back.”  He flattened out the wrinkles in the tee shirt he held, only to grip the pile once more and hold them out to you.  He watched as you stood, intimidated by his kind actions.  You felt a sense of entitlement behind them; you knew he wanted something in return.

“Are you just gonna stand there?”  He hissed.  You quickly reached out for the clothes, placing them under your arm as you watched him hover of the shock collar.  Your hands began to shake.  

“This,”  he snickered, “is a scare tactic.” He looked up at you, smirking.  “I hope that I don’t have to use this.”  Jeongguk slowly stood up, towering over you as he held the collar in his hands.  He stared daggers at you.  

“But if you try to run again, I’ll give the remote to Taehyung or Jin,” he sneered.  “You can choose who'd use it less.” Jeongguk spun the collar around his index finger, taunting you, before quickly turning to put it in a small drawer under his desk.  He sighed, stretching as he fell back into the chair.  You sat your gifts on the bed beside you as you sat down.  Your eyes darted around as to avoid looking at him.  

Jeongguk was an attractive man, but he also had a few quirks to him; to your blind eye, he did have a sweet side.  He was a gentle giant of sorts, but he was quick to become attached.  He grew jealous at any cent of attention his lover got.  He was an abusive man when taunted long enough.  He hated girls who gave anyone but him attention.  In his eyes, he should be the only person in his lover’s life—a God complex, if you will—in which caused an endless path of destruction trailing behind him.  It was how he got here, after all, but to you, all he was was a trigger-happy sadist.  That’s all any of the boys you shared this roof with were.  

Jeongguk combed his fingers through his black hair, throwing his head back as his Adam's apple protruded.  He yawned, stretching his arms as his chest pressed against his shirt.  He rubbed his eyes, leaning his head forward as he glared at you.  “It’s getting late.”  His voice became husky, showing his exhaustion. “Do you want some pajamas?”  Your face contorted at his offer, wondering what his motive was, yet you nodded, knowing that Taehyung’s makeshift outfit wouldn’t be comfortable to sleep in.

Jeongguk pushed himself up from the chair beneath him, trudging a few feet to stand before his dresser.  He pulled out a drawer, rummaging through his clothes.  He pulled out a black crew neck tee and a pair of red basketball shorts.  He turned, tossing them at you. He turned back around pulling out a pair of joggers for himself.  He tugged at the neck of his gray sweatshirt, his bare back left in plain sight.  A rosy tint covered your cheeks as you turned your attention the phone beside you.  You began to play with it.

Jeongguk had changed since your fit of embarrassment, tightening the drawstring around his waist as he looked up at you. “Are you not gonna change?”

You looked around the room, wondering if he was really saying what he was saying.  “In here?” You squeaked, anxiety taking over your voice.  You brought your hand to your mouth.  Jeongguk laughed, a bunny-like grin hiding behind his usual scornful features.  “I mean, the bathroom is down the hall.  You just never know when Hoseok’s in there or not,”  He put his hands in his pockets, watching you attentively, “you can take your chances if you want.”

You knew what he was getting at, and although it was something you weren’t comfortable with, you didn’t want to take your chances with walking in on Hoseok.  You'd had enough of a preview to his private life from his search history.

You sighed, turning your back to Jeongguk as you began to unbutton the red flannel.  You’d honestly assume to just keep it on, at this point.

You turned your head, glaring at Jeongguk as he stood there, not making an attempt to evade his eyes.  You growled, “I can take a lot of shit from you guys, but I’d like it if you’d turn around,” Jeongguk raised his hands up, mocking a signal of defeat as he turned on his heel, busying himself with a picture frame on his dresser.  

You continued to remove your shirt, feeling anxious as you hurriedly continued with your job.  You yearned to get this over with. As you had replaced your flannel for Jeongguk’s black shirt, you had moved onto the sweatpants that had begun to sag again.  You quickly took them off.

Jeongguk shyly looked over his shoulder, hearing you swear as your foot got caught in the leg of the pants.  He giggled to himself, a redness taking over his cheeks as he went back to his knick-knacks.

“There,” you scoffed.  Jeongguk turned around, gliding to his bed as he moved your things.  He fell back against the mattress, his hands behind his head as he closed his eyes.  You stood over him, watching as he began to drift into sleep.  “Where am I supposed to sleep?”  You whispered, doing so intentionally as not to bother him. Jeongguk’s breathing had become constant, his chest rising and falling as he fell into deep sleep. You groaned, taking a grip of your phone as you tiptoed to his door.  You quietly turned the knob, making sure not to wake him up, closing the door behind you.

You pressed the power button, sighing as you looked at the new screen.  11:53. You tilted your head back up, glancing down either end of the hallway, biting your lip as you quietly walked towards what used to be a shared room, now only inhabited by Taehyung.  

You knocked shyly on the door, wondering if he was still awake.  Although you were anxious, knowing he had grown upset with you, letting his anger get the best of him, as he dragged you around like a dog since leaving the hospital, you knew there was a free bed in there.  He’d been locked in his room all day.  

Steadily, you turned the knob as you peeped your head in, seeing a familiar space.  On either side of the room was a small, twin-sized bed with its own style.  On Taehyung’s side, aside from his sleeping figure, were many small figurines and stuffed animals.  On the floor of his side was a small bean bag chair, and two PlayStation controllers tossed lazily to the side.  Multiple game disks scattered the floor.  Multiple small art pieces were hung on his side of the room.

Jimin’s side, however, was more pristine.  On his wall’s were pictures of different pictures of European cities, ranging from the countryside to the Eiffel tower.  Distributed among them were pictures of him and friends; a picture of him and Jeongguk at a café, a picture of him and Jin at an arcade, etc.  However, amidst the collage was a person foreign to you; Jimin and the cat-eyed boy.  He had a gummy smile, and his eyes screwed shut from joy.  Jimin, with his arm wrapped around the boy's shoulders, grinning like a child with the background being Big Ben. You reached out to touch it.

“Why are you in here?”  A gritty voice jeered.  You turned, falling onto Jimin’s bed as you stared up at Taehyung.  His eyes were narrow from being woken up.  He scratched his collar bone.  “I just wanted somewhere to sleep—“

Taehyung tilted his head to the left, watching you as you stammered in your response.  He had a bad case of bed head and a dumbfounded look on his face.  “Why can’t you sleep in Jeongguk’s room?”  

You groaned, looking at him with a sympathetic stare.  “There’s only one bed in there,” you murmured.

Taehyung sneered, rubbing the back of his neck as he came closer.  He was inches from you, watching you writhe to get away.  “So why should I let you stay in here?”

He bent down, closing in on you as he picked lint from your shirt.  “I really wish you would’ve kept my clothes on.  I did put them on you, after all.”  He watched as your eyebrows knitted, clear disdain washing over your expression.  He chuckled, a boxy smile taking over. “I’m kidding,” he purred.

You swallowed your fear, watching as he straightened his posture and turned back to his bed.  “You can stay in here,” Taehyung pulled the covers over his body, glancing at you with a sultry glare, “if you get scared, you can join me.” He teased you, smirking once more before turning on his side, his back to you. You finally let your muscles rest, looking down at the bedsheets you remember; your blood was still on his pillow.

You turned over on your side, yawning as the process of waking up began.  You grew weary but focused enough to see Taehyung standing in front of a mirror, straightening his white button up.  He examined himself thoroughly, licking his lips as his hands moved on to the tie hanging from his neck.  He flipped his collar up, beginning to tie it.

You took in a deep breath of air, rising to a sitting position as you pushed yourself against the wall.  You slumped over as your felt your hair; it was a tangled mess.

Taehyung noticed your movement in the mirror, glancing at you with a warm smile.  “Good Morning, sleepy,” he chimed.  He tightened his tie so that it fits snuggly around his neck.  He took one last look before turning to face you.  He held his hands out to the side, showing his palms as he posed.  “What do you think?”

You chuckled, rubbing your eyes.  Taehyung sighed, turning back to the mirror to talk to himself, “She doesn’t know fashion.” He grabbed a blazer off of the top of the back of the door, tugging his arms through one sleeve at a time. “I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but you need to get dressed.”  Taehyung buttoned the second button to his coat, allowing you to take in the full look.  He was wearing a business suit, one proper for an interview.  You hung your legs off the side of your bed, stretching as you watched him.  “What for?”  

Taehyung pulled out a box from beneath his bed, sliding it over to you as he sat on the floor.  He reached for a pair of suede dress shoes.  You bent over, picking up the box and carefully sitting it on your bed.  “I chose something a little more form-fitting,” he spoke softly, focussing on the laces of his shoes—the tying had to be immaculate—“it’ll get the bosses attention.”

You laughed to yourself, pulling out a small white and black off-the-shoulder dress with a grid print.  Beneath the dress was a pair of black heels, taller than any pair you were accustomed to.  “What makes you think I’m going to wear this?”

Taehyung rested his elbows on his knees as he turned his head to look at you.  “You’re training starts today.”  He sneered, standing up and brushing his hand on the back of his pants to remove whatever dust he had collected. He walked over to you, one hand grabbing the box, the other clutching your bicep as he pulled you off the bed.  He pushed the box into your chest, holding your hand over it.  “Go shower and get dressed, or I’ll do it for you.”

You complied, stumbling back as Taehyung opened the door for you.  He laughed as he watched you trip, making your way towards the bathroom. “So cute,” he sighed.

You met Taehyung back in the living room, where Hoseok and another boy you hadn’t seen had been perched in.  The unfamiliar boy smiled, dimples taking over as he watched you stumble in your heels.  “It’s nice to finally meet my boy's new pet.”  He continued to stir his cup of coffee, leaning back against the couch between Hoseok’s legs. Hoseok sat in silence, scrolling through television channels.  

Taehyung handed you your phone, pointing to the odd couple before you.  “That’s Namjoon, our boss.”

You nodded, giving a half-handed wave to him.  He had short, coarse brown hair, and dark circles you could see a mile away.  The coffee wouldn’t help him, either. Taehyung placed his hand on the small of your back, guiding yourself forward as he waved to his friends.  You both exited the house.

You hadn’t seen the light of day since your botched escape the afternoon before.  The suburban side of Paris was something unseen to you, as you spent most of your life in the slums.  You never really had a good enough salary for an actual house, so you had to manage in a small studio apartment in a bad neighborhood; although this house was hell, it was, in a way, better than what you called home.

Taehyung walked across the yard, opening the door to a white dodge challenger.  He grinned, “your chariot awaits.”

Although he had an aggressive nature, he did have a nurturing side.  Taehyung was a complex man, with complex needs and desires.  He yearned for someone to hold at night but needed someone strong enough to handle his dominant side. It was a never-ending roundabout of men and women entering his life expecting one thing and leaving with more than they wanted.  He had never really had a real relationship; more of a one sided.  His partners were always just his pet, and nothing more. However, to you, he was just a man with bipolar tendencies.

You sat on the passenger side, seat belt stretching across your chest as you waited for Taehyung to enter. He fidgeted with the mirrors, seat, and air conditioning. “Namjoon always fucks things up in here,” he hissed.

After adjusting things to his liking, he leaned back, looking over at you.  “Ready, baby?”  A grin pulled at the corners of his lips as he pressed on the gas.  The car jolted forward.

Taehyung had been singing the entire trip into the city, having his own concert as he curved through the streets.  He took small glances at you, watching as you stifle your laughter. He threw his head back, laughing as he reached for the volume.  He turned it down to a minimum. The car rolled to a halt as the traffic light glowed red.  Taehyung stared at you, grinning innocently.  

You turned to him, sneering. “Is there something on my face?” Taehyung shook his head, beaming.  “I’ve never seen you laugh before.” His voice trailed off, as he turned back to glance at the light; it turned green momentarily.  

As he pulled out of the traffic light and turned, you listened to him as he began to talk.  “Alright, rule number one in con-artistry,”  he spoke attentively.  He held up his index finger, turning to look at you.  “Never break character.”

You cocked your head, staring at him as he began to lecture, cutting him off. “Wait, you—you’re a con artist?”  You were baffled, wondering how he could so easily admit to that label.  “Yeah, it’s actually a pretty good paying job.  I still don’t make as much of the cut as Yoongi, though.”

Your furrowed your eyebrows.  “Who’s Yoongi?”  You quizzed. Taehyung sighed, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel as he approached a curb.  He put the car in park.  “He’s someone you’ll probably never meet—I’ve never even met him, and I work for the asshole.”

You paused, taking a moment to be curious.  "I thought you worked for Namjoon? He's your boss, right?"

"Yes, but for me and Jin, we technically answer to Yoongi. The inside men, if you will."

"So who is Yoongi?"

"He's our hacker.  He and Namjoon do all the hard work, we just follow their orders."

Taehyung unbuckled his seat belt and removed the keys to the car, turning in his seat to turn to you.  “I need you to listen,” he beckoned.  “While we’re in here, you refer to me as Thomas, okay?  Thomas Kirkman, to be exact.”  Taehyung reached across you, he back pressing against your chest involuntarily as he opened the glove box.  He hastily pulled out a pair of rings, handing one to you as he closed the compartment door.  “You’ll be Veronica, okay?”  

Taehyung, holding his own, took the ring from your palm and tenderly slid it onto your ring finger.  “And remember,” Taehyung leaned back, putting his own ring on before glaring at you.  “If you fuck this up, I won’t be a good roommate tonight.”

"Good car and renters insurance companies?

I'm in the process of getting a car and plan on moving to the Berlin area of New Hampshire this summer so i'm looking for a car insurance company that also offers renters insurance so that, when i move, i can bundle the two and try and get a bit of a discount.

FR-44 INSURANCE PLEAAASSEE HELPPP CONFUSINGGGGG?

Ok so I need an FR-44 non owners insurance but I think its impossible to find a non owners policy here in Tampa, Fl. They keep telling me I need prior coverage/ownership of a vehicle. I do have a car but its not under my name(under my dads name) and I do have insurance but its under my dads name also (I put it under his name b/c it was going to be tooooo expensive for me to get it under my name b/c I was a teenager then). So now my question is: if i do not have luck with finding the non-owners fr-44, and I tranfer the car title to my name, can my dad add me to his current policy so that way I would be able to get the fr-44??? Also, if I do that(my dad adds me to his policy as a secondary driver,once the car is under my name) do I have to have the fr-44 from the same insurance company my dad has or can I get it elsewhere??? Thanks, I know its kind of confusing, and I probably didnt do a very good job at explaining myself. I hope someone out there understand.I would appreciate any help. Thanks and God bless.""

Motorcycle cost monthly?

Hey guys, I have some questions for you. I am 17 years old, and want to buy my first motorcycle (supermoto). I think I have a good idea on what it costs, but i'm just unsure. First off, i'll need to get my license. What'll that cost me? (California). I do have a car license, so getting the motorcycle license should be short and sweet, but i dont know. secondly, i'm going to get some motorcycle gear. I figure I'll be in 500$ with both license and gear (nice used leathers probably). Then i am going to get the bike which costs $4000. Being a supermoto, the insurance should be cheaper right? DRZ400sm if that helps. So between monthly payments and insurance, I should be in... 200$ a month? then gas, social life, blah blah. What do you think I need to be making monthly to make this happen. I bring in 500$ a month, and have 600$ in the bank as of now.""

Car wreck and insurance?

Today I was in car wreck. I was in a parking lot going straight and the other driver turned left in to my car. She has dented the whole left side of my car. I called the police but because it was in a parking lot they could not do much. An officer showed up because she refused to give me her proof insurance. The officer said she was clearly at fault but could not cite her because of the private property thing. My question is does anyone know or have any idea how this will play out with her insurance? My car has a lot of damage and i'm in a lot of pain. I won't be able to go to the doctor/hospital until tomorrow because I won't have the money for a co-pay until then. The officer was very nice, he sided with me put all the blame on her, she claimed it was an accident when she clearly just didn't stop before making a left into my car, I thought she was going to stop and I tried to avoid her but she was going to fast.

Good car and renters insurance companies?

I'm in the process of getting a car and plan on moving to the Berlin area of New Hampshire this summer so i'm looking for a car insurance company that also offers renters insurance so that, when i move, i can bundle the two and try and get a bit of a discount. I'm just wondering if anyone knows any good companies (hoping to stay reasonably priced but it's my first car and i'm a newer driver) with offices in the Berlin area and offices in the Cape Ann area of Mass (where I am currently) that offer a car and renters bundle and have treated treated you well. I'd prefer fist hand opinions and experiences with companies.
